Confessions of a Podcast Addict
I recently wrote a post about how to read books, watch movies, and listen to music for free (courtesy of the public library), and I would be remiss if I failed to mention another great resource that I use on a daily basis and that is also free and easy to use: iTunes podcasts.
Want to learn French? There’s a free podcast for that. Want to listen to a Jane Austen novel? There’s a free podcast for that, too. Want to stay up on the latest environmental news, current events, sports and entertainment information, and last week’s installment of A Prairie Home Companion? Well, you get the idea.
The Apple website encourages its users to “go on a free podcast spree,” and I agree! Jumping in headfirst is a great way to learn more about podcasts or, if you’re a podcast pro like me, to discover new ones. Simply download iTunes (for free here), and you’re on your way.
Two of my favorite podcasts are KCRW’s The Score (weekly sports commentary by Diana Nyad) and NPR: Story of the Day. If you have a moment, please share your favorite podcasts in the comments section! I am always looking for new ones to listen to on my iPod during my daily commute.

I used to listen to a podcast the recapped LOST. It was interesting because the people who did it lived in Hawaii and had stories to tell about cast sightings, etc.
Other than that I really don’t listen to podcasts – even the one I used to guest host from time to time with friends.

Free podcasts are definitely very beneficial. I love podcasts!
Podcasts are the best!
